Scrubbers

Do any of you have any tricks for scrubbing perfume off skin? Like when you test something and you just hate it and can't wait to get rid of the smell and several washings just aren't enough and you just want to puke.

Re: Scrubbers

I use a nylon scrubbie thing (like this one) for tenacious fragrances. I also find that dishwashing liquid sometimes gives better results than liquid hand soap. I haven't come up against anything that could withstand these two in combination.

NillaGoon,

I tried what you suggested. It worked! it took two scrubbings with dishwashing liquid and a nylon scrubbie, but I finally managed to get rid of the scent. Thanks so much!

Re: Scrubbers

I figure oil will dilute/dissolve the oils in the fragrance, so first I rub a thick lotion into arms & hands (I use Vanicream -- thick, unscented, and inexpensive), rinse this off in hot water, then wash with regular soap and water. This usually works.

Worst ever - Montale Patchouli Leaves- scrub ,scrub, NOTHING removed it including a shower. I just use dishwashing liquid with a washing facecloth normally. But for Patchouli Leaves- one may just have to amputate.
